VirtualBox

VirtualBox - система виртуализации, аналогичная VMware Workstation и MS Virtual PC. Поддерживает динамическую трансляцию - выполнение большей части инструкций гостевой ОС производится на реальном оборудовании. В роли гостевой системы могут выступать Windows, GNU/Linux, BSD и другие операционные системы.
Плюсы: компактность, бесплатность, поддержка образов VMware, высокая производительность. Довольно существенный минус: нет возможности посредством drag'n'drop - т.е. схватил и перетащил - переносить файлы на виртуальную машину (придется использовать NAT соединение).

Поддерживаемые платформы: Windows x86/AMD64, MacOS X (Intel), Linux i386/AMD64

Разработчик: Sun Microsystems

Ветка: Эмуляторы устройств

Не знаю такой возможности, как и запуск систем с usb, а вот vmware да, может.

Еще c 1.6 какой-то можно. Для физического диска надо создать vmdk-файл.
Посмотри в help'е "Advanced Topics"-"Using a raw host hard disk from a guest"
Работает также и с дисками, подключенными через USB-корзину, флэшку так подключить не пробовал, загрузки с USB-устройств действительно нет.

Core2Duo + 4Gb Ram + Gentoo = 7 виртуальных машин. Правда при синхронной работе часы у них отставать начинают.

Спасибо за инфу amk! Работает, но в виндовс было тяжело найти нужный диск ...

Круто даже виндовый загрузчик пошел,
только зависла она такая плохая винда
если запускаться реально с диска, то все корошо.
в чем может быть беда?

Ну это как переставить диск в другой комп с другой системкой, видюшкой и прочим. В системе установлены драйвера на некоторые (скорее всего почти все) устройства, которых нет в виртуалке. С другой стороны нет драйверов на устройства, которые присутствуют.
Может даже ядро потребоваться другое.

это я всё продумал
в винде создан профиль "virtual" без дров.

Здравствуйте все.
Подскажите пожалуйста как заставить стартовать гостевую машину вместе с запуском windows?
Virtualbox стоит на Windows XP, а виртуальная машина Windows 2003 server.

flinks, может оно параметром коммандной строки умеет понимать машину? Поищи в справке, возможно есть ещё какие ключи.

Должна, если конечно виндовая и линуксовая версия отличаются не столь кардинально.
